Anderson's white-bellied rat

Mammals

Anderson's white-bellied rat, Niviventer andersoni, is a rodent in the family Muridae. It is endemic to China, meaning it is found nowhere else, and it is known from the provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan and Shaanxi. Its range might extend to northern Guizhou. The rat inhabits montane forest at elevations of about 2,000 to 3,000 metres (6,600 to 9,800 feet) above sea level. Its species name, andersoni, was chosen to honour the American scientific collector Malcolm Playfair Anderson.
